Author: Arthur C. Coxe Hymnal: Laudes Domini #487 (1888) First Line: Oh, where are the kings and empires now Lyrics: 1 Oh, where are kings and empires now,
Of old that went and came?
But, Lord, thy church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.
2 We mark her goodly battlements,
And her foundations strong;
We hear within the solemn voice
Of her unending song.
3 For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy church, O God!
Though earthquake shocks are threatening her,
And tempests are abroad;--
4 Unshaken as eternal hills,
Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A house not made by hands. Topics: Christ Corner-stone; Church Institutions of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Corner-Stone Scripture: Daniel 12:4 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANN'S
